Alito, Day Two: A Liar Or An Incompetent

by Steve

Today’s Alito update:

Despite some of the headlines earlier, when asked about presidential power, Alito tried to give a nuanced answer that the Bill of Rights and the Constitution supercede a president’s claim of wartime necessity. Yet, as mcjoan over at Daily Kos noted, even the rest of his answers are inconsistent on the subject.

Alito did his best to make sure no one knew for sure if he would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. But as Armando notes, the only thing that would stop Alito from voting to toss Roe is stare decisis, and the far right won’t care one bit for precedent if they have five votes.
